Sustainability

At the University of Montevallo, we wear Purple and Gold, but we think Green.

Our Environmental Studies program is top notch thanks to our devoted faculty and staff and a number of invaluable hands-on resources like University Lake, Orr Park, the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama Fitness Trail and the Ebenezer Swamp Ecological Preserve. But there are plenty of ways for all students and citizens to pitch in and keep our community sustainable, like ValloCycle, the Montevallo Seed to Table community garden and the Green Fund. After all, more participation always makes for a bigger impact.
